I keep getting PM the whole day. Wht’s wrong with my AM?  
herewith my actionscript:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
myTime = new Date();  
nSeconds = myTime.getSeconds();  
nMinutes = myTime.getMinutes();  
nHours = myTime.getHours();  
if (hours\>=12) {  
ampm = “pm”;  
} else {  
ampm = “am”;  
}  
if (hours\>=13) {  
nHours = nHours-12;  
}  
if (length(nMinutes) == 1) {  
nHinutes = “0”+nMinutes;  
}  
if (length(nSeconds) == 1) {  
nSeconds = “0”+nSeconds;  
}  
nTime = nHours+":"+nMinutes+":"+nSeconds+" "+ampm;  
}

I’m a newbie so I don’t know if this is where the error lies but I’ll give it a shot:

if (hours\>=12) {  
ampm = “pm”;  
} else {  
ampm = “am”;  
}  
if (hours\>=13) {  
nHours = nHours-12;

Where the hell does the script get the hours from?! Maybe that’s the problem 🙂

correct. change every “hours” into “nHours” I made a mistake in the code that I sent to Kirupa. I’ll have him change it when he gets the time…

Thanks Kirupa. When I wrote those tutorials I didn’t copy and paste the code, I re-wrote it into the Word document…ruff times…sorry abuot the screw-ups 🙂
